When l was eight years old l travelled
from Central Massachusetts to Western
New York, crossing the river at Albany,
and going by canal from Schenectady 10
Syracuse. On the canalboat kindly gen.
tlemsn was talking to me one day, and |
mentioned the fact that had crossed the
Connecticut river at Albany. How l got
1t in my head that it was the Connecticut
river do not know, for l knew my geog-
raphy very well then; but in some unac-
countable way had it fixed in my mind
that the river at Albany was the Con-
necticut, and called it so.
"Why," said the gentleman, "that is
the Hudson river"
"Oh, no, SRI" replied politely but
firmly. you're mistaken. That is the
Connecticut river"
The gentleman smiled and said no more.
l was not much in the habit, think, of
contradicting my elders; but in this mat
ter l was perfectly sure l was right, and
so thought it my duty to correct the
gentleman's geography. l felt rather
sorry Tor him that he should be SO ignor-
ant. One day, after l reached home, l
was looking over my route on the map,
and 10! there was Albany ltanding on the
Huds,n river, a hundred miles
from the Connecticut. Then | did not
feel half so sorry for the gentleman's ig-
norance as did for my own. | never
told anybody that story until l wrote it
down on these psges the other day; but l
have thought OF it thousand times, and
always with blush for my boldness. Nor
was it the only time that l was perfectly
sure of things that really were not so. 1t
is hard for boy to lesrn that he may be
mistaken; but, unless he is a fool, he
learns it after awhile. The sooner he
finds it out the better for him.

thirty-two guns, commanded by Cap
tain Skinner, and she went ashore on the
bank of the Fly Island passage on the
night of October 9, 1899. At first she was
reputed to have had 100000 sterling in
specie on noard. This was afterward
contradicted by statement that "the
return from the Bullion Office makes the
whole amount about fl40,000 sterling"

adventures fitted out a vessel to search

of South America. They succeeded and

forty-four years at the bottom of the sea.
Captain Phipps, who commanded, had

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Special to the Gazette.

| Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 1.-Replying to G
letter from Mr.. A. Voight of Willow
Point, Wise county, Tex =, inquiring rela-
tive to the occupation tax on wine grow
ers, Comptroller J ohm d. Mccall made
the following ruling: "The constitution
of the state of Texas, article S, section /,
provides that all persons engaged in ag-
ricultural and mechanical pursuits shall
| never be required to pay an occupation
tax. This constitutional provision is the
law under which wine grower is eX-
| empted from the payment of an occupa-
ton tax, it being held that wine
grower is engaged in an agricul-
tural pursuit. As to the ex-
tent in which this exemption is
permitted to go legally, 1t has been held
by this depa tment that party who man
ufactures. wine from grapes grown by
himself may dispose of the wine at the
place where manufactured in unbroken
packsges--that is, by the bottle, key or
barrel-Without being required to pay
any occupation tax If you desire to do
so, you can send out your statesmen over
the state, who may solicit orders from the
dealers for your wihe, the same to be de-
livered at some future time, and still be
exempt from an occupation tax, but each
salesman will be required to pay $50 Tor
a drummer's license. If you travel your
self soliciting such orders, you will be
required to take out drummer's license.
You can not be permitted to sell your
wine and permit it to be drank on your
premises without the payment OF liquor
dealers tax, nor can parties throughout
the state to whom you ship the same for
sale sell it without the payment of
liquor Dealers tax. In the absence of
any statute governing the case and being
OF the opinion that the growing of grapes
and the manufacturing of the same into
that should be fostered and
encouraged, it is my opinion that a party
who manufactures native wine from
grapes grown in his own vineyard may
sell such wine in unbroken packages any
where within the limits of the county
where the grapes are grown and the wine
manufactured without the payment of any
occupation tax whatever"
This is the most liberal ruling ever
emanating from the COmptroller's office
on the question of native wine growing.
CAPITAL CULLINGs.
There are bills now pending appropri-
ating 100000 outside of the regular
bills.
Talk of an extra session is already
heard in some quarters. One reason is
given that legislation will be rushed
at such a lively rate toward the
close of the session that some of the most
important matters will be left over.

the Deaf and Dumb Institute, came in

An Old-Time Diplomatic.

1t Is curious that SO little notice has
been taken in the newspapers of the
death of Sir Alexander MaIrt. He was
one OF the Oldest of our dlplon atists, and
was an EUghsh minister at various courts
at time when most of our present di-
plomatlsts were in long clothes. The
greater part of his life was passed in
Germany, and he for long years repre-
sented Great Britain at the diet of the
old German confederation at Frankfort.
He thoroughly understood his work, was
keen observer and essentially
safe man. Personally, few were
more popular, for he was
one of the most liable of men, and l
doubt whether be made one single enemy
during his long career. When at Frank
fort had the honoro of serving under him,
and certainly more kindly chief was
not to be found.in the service. His lega-
ton was accredited to several of the
minor courts, and at one of them l was
even more appreciated than my chief.
This was why. Occasionally there was a
pall at the court, which we were expected
to attend. at my first ball supper
found myself ct a table next to the
grandee, gorgeous IN stars and
ribbons. The servant came to
pour out champagne. Now, detest this
wine, so shook my head. The grandee
nudge me and said: "Let him pour it
out" This did, and he explained to me
that the potentate whose hospitality we
were enjoying never gave his guests more
than one glass, $50 you see, it 1 drink
yours shall have two," and he suited
the action to the word. After this there
used to be quite struggle to sit near me
at court suppers. Sir Alexander retired
from active service about twenty years
ago, since which he has resided in Eo-
gland. 1t must have been great pleas
ure to him to have lived to see mis- son,
who entered the Diplomatic career as his
attache, ambassador at Berlin.
